Now that there are two people in the driver's seat, you may worry about driving or car travel in general. Remember that while your baby is well protected by your body; be sure your body is well protected in your car. Some tips to give added protection include:

• Use caution when driving. You are driving under the influence of pregnancy hormones, which may make you prone to fatigue, diminished concentration, or falling asleep at the wheel. Also, if you are prone to dizzy spells you may want to leave the driving to someone else.
• Drive at off-peak traffic hours. Also, drive at times of the day when your mind is most alert.
• Keep trips short.
• Always wear your seat belt. You don't want to go flying forward in an accident. Not only would your baby come between you and the wheel, the extra weight of your baby would greatly increase the force with which you are propelled forward.

The main risk to baby during a high-impact accident is separation of the placenta from the uterine wall. Following such an accident, signs of possible danger to your baby that warrant immediate medical attention are: vaginal bleeding, leaking of amniotic fluid, severe pain or tenderness in your abdomen, uterus, or pelvis, onset of contractions, or a change in the amount and characteristics of fetal movements. In the event of an automobile accident, it's best to contact your doctor. Your healthcare provider will oftentimes do an exam, mainly for reassurance. This may include a monitored tracing of baby's heartbeat, palpation of your abdomen, and possibly even an ultrasound.
